Paul Walter Hauser Takes Shot at Vin Diesel's Work Ethic But Never Worked with Him
Paul Walter Hauser is calling out Vin Diesel's alleged attitude while he's on the set of his big-budget films ... even though the 2 actors have never shared the screen.
The Emmy winner ripped into the 'Fast & Furious' star after Paul's voice-acting work in "Inside Out 2" was compared to Vin's performance as Groot in the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' franchise. Though both actors notably do a lot with a little in their respective films, PWH told CinemaBlend he has no interest in being compared to VD ... saying he'd like to be seen as "on time and approachable," implying Vin is not.
